Assistant/Associate Professor of Law
ALBANY LAW SCHOOL, in New York’s sought-after Capital District, invites applications from entry-level and lateral candidates for a unitary tenure-track full-time faculty position directing an Intimate Partner/ Domestic Violence Litigation clinic beginning in July 2023. We value diversity and seek applicants from backgrounds that add to a community that aims to foster respect and inclusion.
The position involves directing a Family Violence Litigation clinic through which second- and third-year law students learn about survivor-centered, trauma-informed lawyering, the dynamics of intimate partner violence, and the substantive law and procedure of Family Court. Students represent adults and children who have experienced intimate partner/domestic violence in related civil proceedings. This clinic is supported by our staff attorney program.
Applicants must hold a J.D. degree (or the equivalent) and should have a record of academic excellence, substantial academic and practice experience, a passion for teaching in a law school clinical setting, service, and a record of, or potential for, accomplishment in scholarship. Candidates must be admitted to practice in New York State and have actually practiced at least two years out of the last ten in New York State (or successfully seek a waiver of this requirement). Appointment rank will be determined commensurate with the candidate’s qualifications and experience.
To apply, please submit cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the contact information for at least three references by visiting: https://www.albanylaw.edu/about/employment-albany-law-school?gnk=job&gni=8a78859e8584000d0185ac9e9c841d55&gns=Internal%20Applicant
